Hard line adopted on Greek debt loss (FT)
European negotiators have asked Greek debt holders to accept a 60 per cent cut in the face value of their bonds, a hardline stance that far exceeds losses agreed in a deal between private investors and eurozone authorities three months ago. The stance, delivered to a consortium of international banks at the weekend by Vittorio Grilli, Italian treasury chief and lead eurozone negotiator, is a victory for German-led northern creditor countries who have been pushing for Greek bondholders to accept far more of the burden for a second bail-out. According to officials briefed on the talks, France, the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund remain concerned the tough stance could trigger bondholder insurance policies known as credit default swaps, sparking investor panic because of uncertainty over which financial institutions face CDS losses.
In Cautious Times, Banks Flooded With Cash (NYT)
Though financial institutions are not yet turning away customers at the door, they are trying to discourage some depositors from parking that cash with them. With fewer attractive lending and investment options for that money, it is harder for the banks to turn it around for a healthy profit. ... "We just don't need it anymore," said Don Sturm, the owner of American National Bank and Premier Bank, community lenders with 43 branches in Colorado and three other states. "If you had more money than you knew what to do with, would you want more?"
Go West, Investment Banker (WSJ)
The New York state comptroller's office predicted this month that Wall Street would cut 10,000 jobs by the end of 2012, bringing the total losses since January 2008 to 32,000. Bank of America last month announced global staff cuts of 30,000, or 10% of the firm's workforce. Meanwhile, regional banks like KeyCorp, Fifth Third Bancorp in Cincinnati, SunTrust Banks Inc. in Atlanta and U.S. Bancorp in Minneapolis, have been adding bankers for stock, bond and loan offerings, as well as mergers and acquisitions. KeyCorp, for example, has increased its investment banking unit by 36% since the beginning of 2010 and Fifth Third has 20 investment bankers, up from zero a year ago. Investment-banking generates hefty fees that could help the smaller banks offset declining interest income from their core business of lending. "It's a great opportunity for the KeyCorps of the world to lift talent," says Michael Karp, a managing partner at executive search firm Options Group.
Regulator Flagged SAC Stock Trades (WSJ)
In the 18 referrals made by Finra and the NASD between 2002 and 2011 that were reviewed by the Journal, investigators said they were vexed by SAC's repeated appearance in routine screens of suspicious trading near mergers and acquisitions, earnings announcements and other market-moving news. SAC in a statement said, "Every day our firm transacts in thousands of securities," adding that "it is not surprising that we would be included in a small percentage of Finra referrals."
UBS Profit Falls After Trading Scandal (DealBook)
UBS said on Tuesday that profit fell 39 percent in the third quarter from the period a year earlier after a rogue-trading scandal had cost it $2.3 billion. Profit fell to 1.02 billion Swiss francs ($1.2 billion) in the three months ended Sept. 30 from 1.66 billion francs in the period a year earlier. The trading loss and charges linked to a cost-cutting plan were partly offset by an accounting gain on the bank's own credit of 1.8 billion francs and the sale of some investments.

Deutsche Bank Earnings Beat Expectations (DealBook)
Deutsche Bank, the largest German lender, on Tuesday reported third-quarter profit that was above expectations, as improvement in its consumer banking business helped offset a plunge in trading revenue that the bank blamed on the European sovereign debt crisis. The bank said profit in the three months ended Sept. 30 was 777 million euros ($1.1 billion), after a loss of 1.2 billion euros in the period a year earlier. Analysts surveyed by Reuters had expected a net profit of 400 million euros. But pretax profit in the corporate banking and securities division, which includes the investment bank, plunged to 70 million euros in the quarter from 1.1 billion euros a year earlier, the bank said.
Perry calls for major spending and tax cuts (WaPo)
In almost every way, Perry, who is looking to woo tea party conservatives who have been reluctant to back Romney, presents policies to the right of the former Massachusetts governor. Romney has called for capping federal government spending at 20 percent of GDP, the Texas governor proposes 18. (This year, under President Obama, spending is at 24 percent of GDP). Romney has proposed raising the retirement age to reform Social Security, Perry adopts an idea even more beloved by conservatives and hated by liberals: allowing young people to put their money into private savings accounts outside the traditional retirement system. Romney would cut corporate taxes to 25 percent, Perry 20. While Romney has said one of his goals is a "flatter" American tax code, under Perry's plan, Americans could either choose to pay taxes under the current system, or pay a 20 percent national flat tax. Conservative activists have long called for the adoption of a flat tax.
'Dark Pool' Settlement Shines Light on Potential Abuses (WSJ)
Pipeline Trading Systems LLC and two executives agreed to pay $1.2 million in fines to settle charges that the firm withheld the fact that nearly all of its clients' trades on the company's private electronic markets were facilitated by a Pipeline-owned entity, according to Securities and Exchange Commission officials. In a statement, a Pipeline spokesman said the firm was "pleased" to resolve the matter, in which it didn't admit or deny wrongdoing. The case is the SEC's first enforcement action involving dark pools—private markets for institutional traders where large blocks of stock are bought and sold anonymously—and stems from a deeper SEC probe into potential abuses in private share dealing, according to regulators.
Raining on Brazil's Banking Carnival (II)
Virtually all the major international firms, including Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Barclays Capital, Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs Group and JPMorgan Chase & Co., have been building up their Brazilian operations in recent years, hiring bankers, traders and back-office staff. ... The growing army of bankers is chasing fewer and fewer deals, though. The pace of equity offerings this year has slowed to the lowest level since 2005 as stock prices have tumbled. São Paulo's Bovespa Index was down 23.1 percent for the year as of late last month. With prospective valuations reduced, a number of companies have postponed plans for initial public offerings of stock. Merger activity has suffered an even bigger decline, running at barely half of last year's pace. The sudden evaporation of fees is squeezing banks and arousing tensions among domestic banks and some of the newer arrivals.
Italy keeps EU waiting on eve of crucial summit (Reuters)
Just 24 hours before European Union leaders are due to adopt a plan to reduce Greece's debt burden, fortify European banks to withstand bond losses, and scale up the euro zone rescue fund to prevent market contagion, all eyes were on Rome. Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's faction-ridden cabinet failed to agree at an emergency session late Monday on raising the retirement age, one of the key economic reforms demanded by Italy's EU partners as a condition for supporting its bonds. Berlusconi responded defiantly to public pressure from French President Nicolas Sarkozy and German Chancellor Angela Merkel at an EU meeting on Sunday, saying in a statement that no one could teach Italy lessons.
Berlusconi claims Bunga Bunga parties are 'invention of porn obsessed judges' (Daily Mail via The Awl)
Berlusconi also insisted the words 'bunga bunga' which have entered global phraseology, refer to dancing that took place at his parties. He said: 'When one of my guests said "Are we going to have some bunga bunga after dinner?" they were just talking about dancing. I never took part because I have vowed never to dance.'
Barclays Faces New Scrutiny (WSJ) n what could turn out to be a new black eye for the bank, Barclays said the U.K. financial regulator has started an investigation into four current and former senior employees, including Chris Lucas, Barclays's finance director. The issue centers on the "sufficiency of disclosure" in relation to fees paid when Barclays conducted an emergency £7.3 billion ($11.45 billion) capital increase with Middle Eastern investors in 2008. The cash injection likely saved Barclays from being bailed out by the government and part-nationalized. The Financial Services Authority and Barclays declined to elaborate further the issue. Barclays said in a statement that it was confident it had satisfied disclosure obligations. In a separate debacle, Barclays said it put aside £450 million to cover the misselling of derivatives products to small businesses. Merkel, Hollande Vow to Do Everything to Defend Euro (Reuters) FYI: "Germany and France are deeply committed to the integrity of the euro zone. They are determined to do everything to protect the euro zone," they said in a joint statement. Treasury Eyes Funds Hidden Overseas (WSJ) he Treasury Department released new details Thursday of a plan to ferret out Americans' global tax dodging, though some lawmakers and banks remain concerned about the initiative's scope and regulatory costs. Treasury officials said they hope to finalize the system's basic rules by the fall and expressed confidence it would be on track for implementation by 2014 as scheduled. Congressional experts said the new system would recover $8.7 billion in tax revenues over 10 years. Facebook Growth Slows Again (WSJ) The company swung to a second-quarter loss largely weighed down by expenses from compensating employees with stock upon its initial public offering in May. Revenue in the second quarter was $1.18 billion, up 32% from $895 million a year ago. That revenue growth was the lowest percentage since at least the first quarter of 2011, when Facebook was more than doubling the amount of money it brought in from advertising, and to a lesser extent, the cut of fees it takes from payments on its platform. Facebook Falls After Report Fails To Quell Growth Concerns (Bloomberg) "It took a long time for the TV market and advertising to be truly understood, it took a long time for search, and I think we're still in that learning curve with a lot of our clients," COO Sheryl Sandberg said. The Guy In The Clown Nose? He's An Olympian (WSJ) Terry Bartlett is a world-class gymnast who leapt, tumbled and swung for the glory of Great Britain in three Olympic Games. Today, he is also a world-class clown. Ten times a week, he dons a red nose and floppy shoes to elicit chuckles at "O," a Las Vegas water-themed circus run by Cirque du Soleil. "It's better than having a real job," says the 48-year-old Bartlett...A few months after Bartlett's audition, Cirque hired him as an acrobat for a new show in Las Vegas. At first, he says, he had to confront some stigma about joining a circus. "Some people were like, whoa, that's not much of a move from what you've done," he says. But today, he says Cirque is so well-known that he gets few smirks. Spanish Banks Hit By Real Estate Woes (WSJ) Caixabank SA, Spain's third-largest lender by market value, number five bank Banco Popular Español SA, and smaller Banco Español de Credito SA, all said they had set aside most of their profit to bolster their buffers against property sector losses, after the government twice this year raised the minimum required provisioning level for banks. Caixabank said quarterly net profit tumbled 78% to €118 million ($145.1 million) and Popular's profit fell 37% to €75.4 million. Smaller Banesto, which is owned by banking giant Banco Santander SA, said quarterly profit sank 97% to €14.4 million. Goldman PR Guru's Charm School (NYP) Under Siewert, the bank has scheduled weekly roundtable meetings between the media and executives including Goldman President Gary Cohn and CFO David Viniar. In one of those meetings yesterday, rising-star Treasurer Elizabeth "Liz" Beshel Robinson met the press for the first time. Not everyone's keen on the changes. Goldman's financial rock star Viniar, sources said, has sworn off appearing on TV. JPMorgan Revamps Business Units (WSJ) The bank said Frank Bisignano, who was tapped in early 2011 to lead J.P. Morgan's transformation of its mortgage banking group, will become co-chief operating officer for the entire company, in addition to continuing as chief administrative officer of the firm. He will transition the mortgage business to Gordon Smith in early 2013. Matt Zames will serve as co-COO, and will remain head of the chief investment office and mortgage capital markets...J.P. Morgan said its investment banks, treasury and securities services and global corporate banks businesses are being combined into the corporate and investment bank unit, to be chaired by Jes Staley, CEO of the investment bank business. Mike Cavanagh, head of treasury and securities, will become co-CEO of the new unit, along with Daniel Pinto, who currently heads EMEA and global fixed income. Romney Riles Londoners With Comments On Olympics Games (Bloomberg) It was supposed to be Mitt Romney's flawless world stage debut. Instead, the Republican presidential candidate spent the start of his overseas trip fending off a furor over his London Olympics comments and scrutiny of a fundraiser with bankers linked to the Libor rate-fixing scandal. "There's a guy called Mitt Romney who wants to know whether we're ready," London Mayor Boris Johnson told 80,000 cheering people gathered at Hyde Park for the arrival of the Olympic torch last night. "Are we ready? Are we ready? Yes, we are!" Romney worked to put the controversy behind him today, scheduling an interview at Olympic Park to quell the storm of criticism over his comment that the city was unprepared to host the games. "After being here a couple of days, it looks to me like London's ready," he told NBC's "Today" program. "What they've done that I find so impressive is they took the venues and put them right in the city." In the July 25 NBC interview, Romney described reports of difficulties recruiting enough security staff for the games, which begin today, as "disconcerting" and said, "It's hard to know just how well it will turn out."

Q: Jquery : Function used to work but doesn't anymore I have been designing a website for school and coded the html and css. I don't know jquery so someone helped with that part. It was all working well. But later I added another function the displayImages one (with the help of another friend), that made part of the former code not working anymore.
It is very likely a super simple error, but I have no clue how to solve it, so any help would be very appreciated !
the website : http://branded.housingcrisis.nl/
The two problems :

*

*On the top left part, a (word) counter should be displayed anytime one of the tags is selected. It used to work fine but now the counter remains in 'display:none' constantly.
I suppose this is linked to the active class used a bit further in the code ?

*When a tag is selected or a button toggled, the grey text in the center is supposed to fade away a bit more (to turn into a lighter grey). This also doesn't work anymore, but it started not working before I added the image display thing.
jQuery code is here (I've put only 2 sidebarItems but there are 10-15 in the real code)

Rohit Sharma becomes LaLiga's first-ever brand ambassador in India
Source: Twitter/Rohit Sharma
Star India opener Rohit Sharma on Thursday joined hands with LaLiga — Spains top division football league — as its brand ambassador in India.
He is the first non-footballer in the history of the league to have signed on the dotted line with them. Rohit comes on-board following a series of major initiatives by the football league in India since 2017, a statement said.
"Football in India is in its global growth trajectory and it is heartening to see that it is no more considered as the 'sleeping giant'. Over the course of the past five years, we have witnessed significant growth in the interest in football in India. Credit must be given to everyone associated with it, including the fans," Rohit said.
"I am truly delighted to be associated with LaLiga. It's encouraging to see the Spanish giants have made inroads into the Indian football ecosystem through their grassroots programme. Personally, I see this as an interesting journey for me into the beautiful game with LaLiga. I look forward eagerly to connecting with the football fans in India."
"India is a very important market for LaLiga from a global perspective, we came here in 2017 to get a better understanding of the pulse of the nation. Over the past two years, and after several ground-breaking initiatives, it is obvious that India has a huge appetite for football, LaLiga said.
"Rohit Sharma is the perfect example of this, in spite of being the most renowned face in Indian cricket right now, he is also an ardent football and LaLiga fan. In his persona on and off the field, Rohit embodies the LaLiga standards and principles. We are elated to have him as LaLiga's first-ever non-footballer brand ambassador and as the face of our brand in India," Jose Antonio Cachaza, Managing Director, India said.

Lobo women get commitment from another Texan
By Ken Sickenger / Journal Staff Writer
Monday, August 28th, 2017 at 8:30pm
Lobo recruit Bre'Asiaja Mathews. courtesy Bre'Asiaja Mathews
The UNM women's basketball team completed an impressive recruiting two-step on Sunday.
Bre'Asiaja Mathews, a 6-foot wing from Garland became the second talented Texan in as many weekends to verbally commit to the Lobos. She joins 5-11 guard Quincy Noble, who announced her commitment to New Mexico seven days prior.
It's fair to say the two high school seniors have much in common. Both live and play Class 6A prep basketball in Dallas' northern suburbs.
Mathews, who plays for Lakeview Centennial High School, said she's gone up against Noble on a few occasions. Noble plays at McKinney High School, but the players' head-to-head meetings have come in club competition.
Lobo recruit Quincy Noble

"Quincy's good," Mathews said. "We've already talked about being teammates next year. We're pretty excited about it."
Mathews and Noble are prolific scorers of similar height who live relatively close together, but their games are distinctly different.
Mathews is a left-hander who is adept at attacking the basket, has a soft mid-range shot and a knack for rebounding. She averaged 18.4 points, 9.6 rebounds and 2.9 steals per game as a junior at Lakeview Centennial last season, shooting 54 percent from the field. Mathews alternates between guard and forward but projects more as a big guard in college.
Blue Star Basketball evaluator Mark Lewis found plenty to like about Mathews' game in a recent evaluation. He described her as a "strong, athletic forward" who "finishes inside and her vertical is there. Has tools…"
College coaches agreed as Mathews was heavily recruited. Her "final four" options were Colorado State, Texas Tech, North Texas and UNM.
"I just really liked New Mexico," said Mathews, who visited Albuquerque for the first time over the weekend and announced her decision Sunday.
"The coaching staff was very nice, I liked the girls," she added, "and the style of play there really fits my abilities. I like to get up and down."
Noble said she had a similar experience on her recruiting visit Aug. 18-20. A right-handed guard who excels from 3-point range, Noble chose UNM over Wichita State, Old Dominion and Pacific.
"Honestly, I just fell in love with Albuquerque," Noble said. "UNM has recruited me since my sophomore year, but once I saw the city, I knew I wanted to play there."
Noble, an AAU teammate of Cibola standout and Florida State commit Amaya Brown, averaged 17.0 points, 6.1 rebounds and 2.0 steals as a junior at McKinney High last season.
UNM coach Mike Bradbury confirmed his program is recruiting Mathews and Noble, but NCAA rules prohibit coaches from otherwise commenting on unsigned players.
Mathews and Noble join former Gallup star Ni'Asia McIntosh as UNM's first three verbal commits for 2018-19. McIntosh will be a sophomore at New Mexico Junior College this season and plans to join the Lobos as a junior.

Democracy vs Communism or Donald Trump vs Xi Jinping. Mutual Antagonism defines the US-China Rift.
In my analysis, the US-China rift has nothing to do with either President Donald Trump or President Xi Jinping. The US-China relations formulated by Nixon-Kissinger in 1971-72 are fundamentally flawed. I name Nixon-Kissinger initiative to befriend China as the "Original Sin." The relations between Democracy and Communism can only be described as 'Mutual Antagonism'.

The U.S. ramps up its confrontation with China

Under President Trump's watch, the United States is engaged in an intensifying cycle of confrontation with China. Earlier this week, U.S. authorities ordered the shuttering of the Chinese Consulate in Houston on the grounds that it was an espionage hub for Beijing. The Justice Department also said a fugitive Chinese scientist with ties to the People's Liberation Army, China's military, has been given sanctuary in the Chinese Consulate in San Francisco. Separately, the Commerce Department announced sanctions on a new group of Chinese companies for their alleged involvement in China's "campaign of repression" against Uighurs and other ethnic minorities, including the use of forced labor.
It's just another week in the spiraling U.S.-China relationship. At a news conference, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin hinted at retaliation, saying that "in response to the U.S.'s unreasonable actions, China must make a necessary response and safeguard its legitimate rights." He described the U.S. allegations of espionage as "malicious slander."
The Trump administration only further upped the ante. On Thursday, in what was billed as a "major" foreign policy speech, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo spoke of the dangers of "Communist China" to the future of the "free world." He branded Chinese President Xi Jinping a "true believer in a bankrupt totalitarian ideology" in pursuit of global Marxist "hegemony." Pompeo scolded those within the United States and elsewhere in the West who had chosen the path of "timidity" and acquiescence to China's perceived manipulation of the global system and plans for further domination.
Speaking in California at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum — named after the president who first opened U.S. relations with the People's Republic — Pompeo conjured a world shaped by an ideological war dividing the West and China. He declared that "if we want to have a free 21st century," then "the old paradigm of blind engagement with China" could no longer continue, a reiteration of the administration's view that its predecessors were too soft in their approach to Beijing.
But the United States' top diplomat stopped short of outright calling for regime change. He said the Communist Party "fears the Chinese people's honest opinions more than any foreign foe" and that it was incumbent on the West to better "engage and empower the Chinese people."
Pompeo's critics in the United States are familiar with the script — a sort of belligerent posturing that has included the Trump administration's "maximum pressure" campaigns against the regimes in Iran and Venezuela. But Pompeo, who conducted a quick trip this week to Europe, where he met a leading Hong Kong dissident in London, is seeking to harness growing global consternation with Beijing and echoed calls from some hawkish corners for a newfangled "alliance of democracies" to better counter China.
This comes at a time when China is asserting itself in bolder and more provocative ways than before, from draconian crackdowns at home to recent expansionist maneuvers in the seas to its east and along its mountainous border with India. Inside China, some nationalist commentators are openly discussing the idea of an invasion of Taiwan, even as the United States expands arms sales to the island democracy that Beijing views as its own.
While the Trump administration has essentially abdicated a position of global leadership during the coronavirus pandemic, China's authoritarian rulers have hardly boosted their own image. "If there is a silver lining to the current crisis maelstrom, it may be that Beijing has pulled back its own curtain, giving the world an unsolicited preview of unconstrained Chinese might," Kurt Campbell and Mira Rapp-Hooper wrote in Foreign Affairs. "By leaving a power vacuum in the world's darkest hour, the United States has bequeathed China ample room to overreach — and to demonstrate that it is unqualified for a position of sole global leadership.""
By choosing unprovoked aggression over enlightened generosity, China has squandered that historic opportunity and possibly also revealed its true character," wrote Arvind Subramanian, a former chief economic adviser to the Indian government. "Soft power, China appears to believe, is for wimpy democracies."
But either Trump or his Democratic opponent Joe Biden — should the latter emerge victorious in November — will have to take stock of the risks of the current path of escalation. "Closing the consulate does not appear to be part of a coherent strategy to deter or compel China to alter its behavior," Jessica Chen Weiss, an expert on Chinese foreign relations, told my colleagues. "It looks more like a 'shock and awe' strategy to distract U.S. voters from the Trump administration's disastrous response to the pandemic."
Kurt Tong, a former U.S. consul general in Hong Kong, argued during a webinar this week that the United States needs to pursue "concerted diplomacy," rather than rhetorical broadsides, to remind China of its own overreach and miscalculations. He waved away Pompeo's insistence on plunging the world into a grand ideological struggle. "China is an authoritarian state," said Tong, but "the U.S. isn't going to succumb to authoritarianism because China is abusing its own population."
"Both sides should practice some ideological humility," wrote Jie Dalei, a professor of international studies at Peking University, as part of a compilation of U.S. and Chinese academic voices on the current state of affairs. "One does not have to change [or] become the other to be able to coexist. In fact, the existence of multiple competitive ideologies is the normal state of affairs throughout most of human history. The domination of one ideology in the global marketplace of ideas is the exception rather than the rule."

Q: See who invited a discord bot (js) I would like to log when my bot joins servers (i already have the base code) I just need to know how to define the owner of the server! if you know how to do this please help me!

A: Well, from the "guildCreate" event, you recieve a Guild class. From which you can access the owner GuildMember class. Then you can get the information about the owner that.
Here is an example:
const Discord = require("discord.js");
const client = new Discord.Client();

client.on("guildCreate", (guild) => {
  console.log(`I have been added to a new guild! ${guild.name}
  Owner name: ${guild.owner.user.username}`);
})

client.login("yourToken")

It's the best to read thru the docs.

A: For checking who invited :
const Discord = require("discord.js");
const client = new Discord.Client();
client.on("guildCreate", async guild => {
    const fetchedLogs = await guild.fetchAuditLogs({
        limit: 1,
        type: "BOT_ADD"
    });
    const auditlog = fetchedLogs.entries.first();
    let myChannel = client.channels.cache.find(channel => channel.id == YOUR_CHANNEL_ID);
    myChannel.send(auditlog.executor.tag + " added bot in "+ guild.name+"\nOwner is:
    "guild.owner.user.username);
    });

Also you can check for VIEW_AUDIT_LOGS permission

Q: How get email sent status in mailkit with asp.net core I'm implementing email server in asp.net core 2.0 with mailkit. About my scenario, I have to send email and need to return feedback with the email sent status.I have implemented email send part and it's working fine.
I know try catch is a one option.But it's not enough with my situation. Because exception will be occurred only when network error or authentication failure. But exception won't occur if some receiver email is invalid.

I have to return email sent status for each email in List.But If there is invalid email or another error I can't catch it.
I saw a event called MessageSent. But I don't know to implement that event and whether it's match with my condition.

This is my full code.

  public void SendEmail(List<EmailMessage> emailMessages)
        {
            List<MimeMessage> emailQueue = new List<MimeMessage>();
            foreach (EmailMessage emailMessage in emailMessages)
            {
                var message = new MimeMessage();
                message.MessageId = emailMessage.MessageId;
                message.To.AddRange(emailMessage.ToAddresses.Select(x => new MailboxAddress(x.Name, x.Address)));
                message.From.AddRange(emailMessage.FromAddresses.Select(x => new MailboxAddress(x.Name, x.Address)));

                message.Subject = emailMessage.Subject;

                message.Body = new TextPart(TextFormat.Html)
                {
                    Text = emailMessage.Content
                };

                emailQueue.Add(message);
            }

            using (var emailClient = new SmtpClient())
            {
                emailClient.Connect(_emailConfiguration.SmtpServer, _emailConfiguration.SmtpPort, _emailConfiguration.EnableSSL);

                emailClient.AuthenticationMechanisms.Remove("XOAUTH2");

                emailClient.Authenticate(_emailConfiguration.SmtpUsername, _emailConfiguration.SmtpPassword);
                foreach (MimeMessage email in emailQueue)
                {
                    try
                    {
                         emailClient.Send(email);

                    }
                    catch (Exception ex)
                    {

                    }
                }
                emailClient.Disconnect(true);
            }
        }

A: You need override the GetDeliveryStatusNotifications class, something like this:
using MailKit;
using MailKit.Net.Smtp;
using MimeKit;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;

namespace YourProject
{
    public class CustomSmtpClient : SmtpClient
    {
        protected override DeliveryStatusNotification? GetDeliveryStatusNotifications(MimeMessage message, MailboxAddress mailbox)
        {
            if (!(message.Body is MultipartReport report) || report.ReportType == null || !report.ReportType.Equals("delivery-status", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase))
                return default;
            report.OfType<MessageDeliveryStatus>().ToList().ForEach(x => {
                x.StatusGroups.Where(y => y.Contains("Action") && y.Contains("Final-Recipient")).ToList().ForEach(z => {
                    switch (z["Action"])
                    {
                        case "failed":
                            Console.WriteLine("Delivery of message {0} failed for {1}", z["Action"], z["Final-Recipient"]);
                            break;
                        case "delayed":
                            Console.WriteLine("Delivery of message {0} has been delayed for {1}", z["Action"], z["Final-Recipient"]);
                            break;
                        case "delivered":
                            Console.WriteLine("Delivery of message {0} has been delivered to {1}", z["Action"], z["Final-Recipient"]);
                            break;
                        case "relayed":
                            Console.WriteLine("Delivery of message {0} has been relayed for {1}", z["Action"], z["Final-Recipient"]);
                            break;
                        case "expanded":
                            Console.WriteLine("Delivery of message {0} has been delivered to {1} and relayed to the the expanded recipients", z["Action"], z["Final-Recipient"]);
                            break;
                    }
                });
            });
            return default;
        }
    }
}

A: There is a good explanation of MailKit's MessageSent here - https://stackoverflow.com/a/48132905/1105937
TLDR: Use the try/catch as that will tell you if the message was sent or not..
var IsEmailSent = false;

try
{
    emailClient.Send(email);
    IsEmailSent = true;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{

}

You won't be able to tell if the users email address does not exist for privacy issues, but the person who sent the email will get any bounce back messages.
If you send out all the emails using a generic email address like do-not-reply@my-cool-app.com then add the app user (the person sending the email) as a "reply to" email so they will recieve a copy of any bounce backs as they occur.

A: We can get MessageSent like this.It's confirm email is send by smtp service.But it's not returning email receive status.
Eg: my smtp server is gmail and i'm sending email to yahoo email address. Using MessageSent we can confirm that email is dispatch from smtp gmail client.But we can't get the received status of yahoo email.

                foreach (MimeMessage email in emailQueue)
                {
                    try
                    {
                        emailClient.MessageSent += OnMessageSent;

My son loved to swim. He was always at the pool and had passed all his swimming badges at a very early age. Swimming was an adventure, it was cool, it was fun, until one day when it almost came to a deadly halt.
Chris had been carrying on an animated discussion with a fellow swimmer, when suddenly, he stepped away from his pal and dove into the deep end of the pool. I was not the least bit concerned as I knew the proficiency of his skills. Thus, I continued chatting with other swim moms until I suddenly realized that something unexpected was happening. Chris's friend now appeared frantic as he shook the instructor's arm and pointed at the deep end of the pool. What's going on? I wondered, and then, it hit me. I couldn't spot Chris in the water.
With a splash, the lifeguard entered the pool. I stood rooted to the spot. The second hand on the pool clock ticked away, 10, 20, 30, and still no sign of emerging heads from the deeps. My heart began to constrict as my breath stilled, and my lungs ached for the air that I longed to pass on to my boy.
Finally, up popped Chris's head, quickly followed by the guard, who, upon climbing out of the pool, gave him the kind of verbal dressing-down which only stems from a combination of abject terror and relief all at the same time.
So what had happened? Chris, always a daredevil, had accepted a bet from his pal, who dared him to swim to the bottom of the pool and see if his finger would fit into one of the holes in the drainage system. You guessed it. The finger slipped in easily enough but not back out.
How often are we, as God's children, tempted to stick our finger into things where they simply don't belong? How often do we get ourselves into a situation or a crisis of faith because we have chosen to accept temptation's bet and dared to disobey God, thinking that we can get away with it? How often? Probably far more often than any one of us dares to admit!
Yes, indeed, He will lift us up out of the dark waters of temptation into the light and life of victory in Christ.
Prayer: Father God, thank You that we have power in Christ over temptation. Bless us this day with humble hearts that draw nigh unto You and Your goodness, light, and love. In Christ's name, we pray. Amen.
Wonderful and inspiring as always Lynne.
I'm glad to hear that your son is okay after that scary experience!
Dear Lynne: You are right we have all the power we need in Christ!
Lynne – another blessing as I read your devotional! Temptation is a killer if we succumb to it's wiles.
Thank you for another great admonition with a real life situation. God bless you.
My heart beat faster and faster as I read your message, afraid of what the outcome might be for you and your son. What at perfect illustration describing how easy it is for one to test the waters of carelessness and find ones self in trouble.
I am happy all turned out well for your son and your family. I am also thankful for your message warning us, as God's children, we too are tempted to stick our finger into things where they simply don't belong, thinking we can get away with it and finding out we are indeed involved in something that we know is not pleasing to our Lord.
When temptation does come may we remember your wise words, "He will lift us up out of the dark waters of temptation into the light and life of victory in Christ.", when we truly trust in Him.
A scary but great, great message.
Lynne, how frightening that situation must have been, yet what a great lesson you've drawn from it to share with us. Thank you. Blessings.

Illegal Guns Went to Puerto Rican Gangs, Agent Says
Orlando Sentinel (Florida)
By Henry Pierson Curtis
Relevant contents
More than 200 guns bought illegally from Central Florida shops went to Puerto Rico drug gangs responsible for scores of murders in recent years, according to a federal indictment unsealed Tuesday.
Investigators predicted "Operation Tropical Firepower," as the investigation is known, will expand and link up to 800 weapons to more than a dozen suspects arrested this week and others still at large. Already, it is the region's largest gun-trafficking case in decades…
The trade exists largely because Puerto Rico has some of the strictest gun laws in the United States. On the island, for instance, gun owners must be able to account for every bullet they buy if questioned by police. At the same time, Florida laws are some of the nation's least restrictive.
Semiautomatic versions of the AK-47 assault rifle, which sell for as little as $350 in Orlando, command $2,000 on the black market in Puerto Rico, according to police and federal court records.
Investigators say the black-market buyers are typically drug gangs, whose members are responsible for some of the worst violent crimes per capita in the United States. The island commonwealth is a major port of entry for cocaine and heroin shipped from Colombia to the U.S. mainland…
Florida gun stores impose no waiting period or limit on the number of assault weapons people can buy in a single day. Handgun buyers who have a state concealed weapon permit can take home a gun purchase immediately. Those without a permit must wait three days.
There are no limits on private sales at gun shows…

Concord Public Library is pleased to announce that it has been awarded $18,771 in funding through the Institute for Museum and Library Services' "Grants to States" program. The grant program is part of the American Rescue Act Plan of 2021 and is being facilitated by the N.H. State Library.
Concord Public Library will use this grant award to create an electric "bike bookmobile" program to perform innovative outreach services across the City, serve and promote library services to new community members, and finally, to develop community partnerships that will enhance the quality of life for all of the City's citizens. In the grant application, Concord Public Library detailed that it would meet these needs by using grant funds to circulate and give away books at community events and promote library services and resources.
The library is also researching book delivery to local senior living facilities, and outreach to areas of the city with underserved populations. There is a tremendous amount of outreach opportunities in the City, beginning with a new partnership with the City's Parks & Recreation Department and S & W Sports. Library staff have been meeting with the department to discuss events that the bike bookmobile program can enhance.
"New Hampshire's strong relationship with its public libraries was made even more evident during the past two years, when librarians and their staffs were able to adjust services nimbly in order to continue to meet the needs of their communities," said N.H. State Librarian Michael York. "The innovative programs funded by these grants will continue to strengthen not only public library services, but also the communities in which the libraries reside."
"As pillars of our communities, libraries and museums bring people together by providing important programs, services and collections. These institutions are trusted spaces where people can learn, explore and grow," said IMLS Director Crosby Kemper. "IMLS is proud to support their initiatives through our grants as they educate and enhance their communities."
Part of the N.H. Department of Natural and Cultural Resources, the N.H. State Library promotes excellence in libraries and library services to all New Hampshire residents, by assisting libraries and the people of New Hampshire with rapid access to library and informational resources through the development and coordination of a statewide library/information system; by meeting the informational needs of New Hampshire's state, county and municipal governments and its libraries; and by serving as a resource for New Hampshire. For more information, visit nh.gov/nhsl.
The Institute of Museum and Library Services is the primary source of federal support for the nation's libraries and museums. We advance, support, and empower America's museums, libraries, and related organizations through grantmaking, research, and policy development. Our vision is a nation where museums and libraries work together to transform the lives of individuals and communities. To learn more, visit www.imls.gov and follow IMLS on Facebook and Twitter.

Telemedicine – standard care after the pandemic has passed?
By sailor.news team On May 13, 2020 In Marine Insurance P&I Club News No Comments
During the current global pandemic, telemedicine has emerged as an effective way for doctors and patients to interact without risk of spreading COVID-19. In the United States, recent legislation which was passed in response to the pandemic has expanded the availability of medical treatment delivered by telemedicine. This legislation has eliminated traditional barriers to telemedicine in significant ways, including:
Removing the requirement that there be a pre-existing doctor-patient relationship before the provider can provide telemedicine services;
Eliminating the requirement that telemedicine providers use audio-visual platforms, allowing patients to access medical providers using telephones;
Relaxing the requirements for the types of technology medical providers can use. Providers are now permitted to communicate with patients using non-HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) compliant technologies such as FaceTime, Facebook video chat, Google Hangouts, or Skype.
What does this mean for seafarers?
During the pandemic, seafarers may encounter difficulties and delays accessing in-person medical care in the US, including refilling prescriptions and obtaining medical supplies, due to restrictions on shore leave and crew changes, quarantine requirements and port closings. Easier access to telemedicine may help alleviate some of these issues. With easier access to telemedicine, seafarers in US ports can now receive medical evaluations, diagnoses and treatment, including prescriptions, by telemedicine consultation. This is particularly helpful when dealing with chronic medical conditions, such as diabetes or hypertension, which can be managed with medication and do not necessarily require an in-person consultation. Local medical assistance companies or ship's agents are available to deliver prescriptions and supplies to the seafarer, avoiding unnecessary person-to-person contact.
Is the legislation allowing greater access to telemedicine likely to be made permanent?
Although the changes to telemedicine are temporary, some medical experts in the US have urged that they be made permanent. The chief medical officer in Texas said, the pandemic "has driven us to focus on what's practical, what's efficient, and what works." He noted, "hopefully on the back end of this pandemic, we can keep the things that work and then put safety mechanisms around them as well."

Sample article from our Retail & Omnichannel
March 8, 2022 (press release) –
Amazon Aware includes apparel, home, beauty, and more—all thoughtfully designed and made from materials such as recycled polyester, organic cotton, and bio-based ingredients.
People want to shop more consciously, and at Amazon we know we can make that easier. We launched the Climate Pledge Friendly program in 2020 as a way to help customers discover products that are more sustainable on Amazon, and today, we're introducing Amazon Aware—a new line of everyday essentials, all with third-party certifications featured in our Climate Pledge Friendly program.
Available for customers in the U.S., Canada, and Europe, Amazon Aware includes new items across apparel, home, beauty, and other categories. You can find products like dresses, T-shirts, and tank tops; bedding and towels; skincare products; and household essentials. Products are thoughtfully designed and made from materials such as recycled polyester, organic cotton, and bio-based ingredients with certifications specific to product type.
"We are committed to creating programs that contribute toward a more sustainable future," said Matt Taddy, vice president Amazon Private Brands. "We are excited to introduce Amazon Aware, as it's another step that continues in our commitment to test, learn, and innovate, while offering low-priced, everyday essentials to our customers, all with third-party certifications featured in our Climate Pledge Friendly program."
Amazon Aware products
All Amazon Aware products have certifications that are part of the Climate Pledge Friendly program—and they can be purchased via the Climate Pledge Friendly storefront on Amazon.com or on Amazon Aware.
Skincare and beauty products are tested by dermatologists and formulated with ingredients like vitamin C, avocado oil, and shea butter. Amazon Aware also uses aluminum bottles, glass jars, and refills to help reduce our use of single-use plastics. All products are certified as free from the Environmental Working Group's list of known chemicals of concern.
Bedding and bath products use certified organic cotton and are certified Made in Green by OEKO-TEX, which verifies that products have been manufactured using processes with a reduced environmental impact and under socially responsible working conditions.
Apparel is designed with fabrics made from recycled materials, and feature third-party certifications such as Organic Content Standard 100, Global Recycle Standard, and HIGG Index Materials Seal.
Amazon is committed to making sustainability progress on behalf of customers as we work toward addressing the climate crisis and reaching net-zero carbon by 2040, 10 years ahead of the Paris Agreement.
